[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US should make STEM education a requirement for all children so we can raise our own STEM employees and not have to recruit foreigners who take jobs from Americans.[/quote] It is already. Four years of math, four years of science and most HS students take more, whether or not they are pursuing a STEM degree. Calculus is the norm these days with the real STEM kids pushing beyond it. But how many kids graduate from HS knowing how to write? And there's no way you can say that writing isn't a critical skill for employers.[/quote] No, I mean from the time they are in kindergarten. So we can compete with the foreigners who do that. And we need to start teaching physics in elementary school because beyond that, it is too late to really get it for many students. Physics is usually the weed out class in engineering.[/quote]
